What I'll Miss About UNCW: Part 2

I love this place.

What I'll Miss About UNCW: Part 2
UNCW Photography

I love UNCW, I really do. Coming from a small town that's not on the map, I never experienced true city life until I got to Wilmington. It's great to be in the thick of things and get to know a new community.

1. Wag Bingo

You haven't lived until you've played bingo in Wag. It's entirely different from other bingo games -- at different points during the game, the hosts (shout out to UNCWeekends) ask for various random items, such as mirrors, hotel room keys, and pictures from a phone. You can also dine while playing.

2. Mini Hawk-In/Hawk-In

There's nothing like sitting in a theater full of people for 12-24 hours. Every year, these two events are planned and executed by ACE Films, complete with dinner, snacks, and contests. There's something cool about sitting in your pajamas with a room full of people doing the same.

3. Shadowcasts

On that note, ACE's shadowcasts. Though the most notable is Rocky Horror Picture Show, there are two others: Moulin Rouge and Scott Pilgrim. These are annual events and are completely cast by students.

4. The Hockey Team

Oh, the hockey team. I'll miss seeing them Rollerblade, skate and bike down Chancellor's advertising their next game. They start off at Wag before heading down the entirety of Chancellor's, and they're pretty hard to miss.

5. Chancellor's

I have a love/hate relationship with this walkway. It's a long, half-mile trek that I usually dread. It's horrible to walk in both summer and winter (not a lot of shade and no buffer zones from the harsh wind), but I almost always can spot someone I know walking in front of me or across from me.

6. Chalking

When walking down Chancellor's and you happen to look down, there is almost always chalking. Sometimes it's beautiful artwork, sometimes it's happy birthday wishes, but it's almost always advertising for an event or a club.

There are so many different aspects of UNCW that I love, and I'm really happy that this is where I spent my four years.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
